Hold a game night or go to local or university board game club. Each time you test, notice what works and what doesn’t. Strip the game down to its core and make it as simple as possible while keeping the intrigue high. Your final game will look nothing like your initial idea,and that’s ok. Our games are literally tested hundreds online multiplayer games of times and go through about a hundred different versions. The final game is often completely different from where we started. There are so many great board games out there to flip, for amazing returns!

• Card games are fun for all ages, but not all of them have concepts that kids can easily grasp.
• Old Maid is a great way to develop matching and pairing skills.
• Crazy 8s is a little more of an advanced game because it’s so fast paced that kids have to think quickly!
• Get rid of all the pairs and as long as they’re not left with the odd card at the end, they’ll win!
• That is why we have set aside a space for card games that the whole family can enjoy together or that kids can play with themselves.
• We even offer a assortment that includes all of these games.

Other profitable niches include books, toys, and grocery. I understand you can’t like board games as used on amazon but do they have to be out of print to list as collectible? Somewhat confused as to how individuals are sourcing used board games. All used board games have to go as “collectible” on Amazon. Boris, it looks like reselling used board games through prepping services might not be the best use of your capital.

It’s Time To Build Your Kingdom

You can check Keepa or CamelCamelCamel for pricing history on Amazon. If that doesn’t give you enough information, you can search for your game on eBay. My top choice for packaging board games is an impulse sealer with a heat gun. However, for smaller games, self-sealing poly bags are a great choice. If you need recommendations for these items, I discuss my favorite packaging products in my blog post about how to package bundles. If you’re selling used electronic board games , you’ll also need to check the batteries.

To answer your question, I’ll always buy a board game if it consistently ranks under 100,000 and at least doubles my money (100% ROI) after fees. I’ll buy a board game that gives me 50% ROI if the sales rank is consistently under 25,000 . I’ll also buy board games with higher sales ranks the closer we get to Q4. I’ll also buy board games with higher sales ranks if the ROI is really, really good. I’ll buy a board game ranked 300,000 for $5, because I think the game will sell for $100 within 6-8 months. It’s so much better to master one niche, than to be mediocre in multiple niches. Master board games, then move on to another profitable niche!

I know some eBay sellers who source used board games locallyjust to sell the parts. When you think about it, it’s not a bad idea if you can get a whole used board game for $2 to sell the pieces for $1-$5 each. Board games sell on Amazon all year long, but things can really take off during Q4 . Many board games, both new and used, sell formuch more during November and December. Prices can really fluctuate on collectible board games, especially as supply decreases.

When selling board games, you want to be 100% sure that it has all of the pieces, and a prep service might not do that for you. Hello, I am just getting into buying and selling board games. I went to an estate sale and bought 6 brand new factory sealed games for 45 bucks. I did search them on amazon and they are bringing good money. The question I have is that I found a game for $100 and it is going for around $200 – $250 on amazon with a rank of around 88000, should I buy it? I guess I am just scared of buying something pretty expensive this early.
